About The Record:

King Of Kings, by Miklos Rozsa, is the acclaimed soundtrack for the 1961 epic film directed by Nicholas Ray, depicting the life of Jesus Christ. Rózsa’s score is renowned for its emotional depth and grandeur, blending orchestral majesty with choral elements to evoke the spiritual and historical weight of the narrative. Historically significant, the soundtrack is a landmark in film scoring, showcasing Rózsa’s ability to merge classical influences with cinematic storytelling, earning praise for its contribution to the biblical epic genre. The album, released by MGM Records, features iconic tracks like the Overture and The Lord’s Prayer, though no singles charted as pop hits due to the orchestral nature of the work. Its enduring legacy lies in its influence on subsequent film composers and its revered status among soundtrack collectors.
